Hayden Panettiere, the ex-partner of boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko, answered the question ‘everyone wanted to know’ about their sex life.<\/p>\n

The American actress and singer, 36, was in a relationship with the Ukrainian between 2009 and 2011, and again between 2013 and 2018.<\/p>\n

In the same year as they broke up for a second time, Panettiere struggled with addiction and postpartum depression, and she relinquished full custody of their daughter, Kaya, to Klitschko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair remain on friendly terms and now co-parent their daughter, who was born in 2014.<\/p>\n

Those topics are all covered in Panettiere’s upcoming memoir, titled ‘This Is Me: A Reckoning<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

The book will be released later this month, and, according to its synopsis, is a ‘rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery’.<\/p>\n

One topic she doesn’t cover, it seems, is one particular aspect of her sex life with Klitschko which people constantly asked her questions about.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/a> in 2011, she said that people wanted to know how things worked given their significant height difference.<\/p>\n

While Panettiere stands at 5ft 1in tall, Klitschko – one of the most imposing heavyweight boxers<\/a> of all-time – stands at 6ft 6in.<\/p>\n

“He is quite a bit bigger than me,” she said during her appearance. “I get the prudest people coming up to me, and they’re like, ‘Does it work?’<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it works. We find a way!”<\/p>\n

DeGeneres, appearing to be half-joking, said she was ‘in shock’ at the revelation.<\/p>\n

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” Panettiere replied. “And they’re very conservative people [who ask her], most of the time. They just have to know.<\/p>\n

“Like, have to know. ‘I just have to ask you this question!”<\/p>\n

Panettiere added that she found the whole experience of answering the question ‘amusing’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hayden Panettiere, the ex-partner of boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko, answered the question ‘everyone wanted to know’ about their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663685,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85,124133],"class_list":["post-663684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-wladimir-klitschko"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
